Announcements for Friday, October 3, 2025
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Staff,
Our C.W. Baker High School students kicked off Homecoming weekend this afternoon with a pep rally at Pelcher-Arcaro Stadium. Our Varsity Football team takes on Corning-Painted Post at 6 p.m. tonight and the Baker Homecoming dance will take place on Saturday evening. Homecoming is a tradition that brings together students, families, alumni and community members in a shared spirit of pride and connection. Go Bees!
I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank the members of our facilities team for their ongoing commitment to keeping our schools and buildings safe, clean and welcoming for our students, staff and community. Thursday was School Custodian Appreciation Day, which is a perfect time to say thank you for your dedication and hard work!
I have a few announcements to share with you today:
Baker’s Dozen:
Congratulations to the Class of 2026 Baker’s Dozen! Each year, C.W. Baker High School recognizes the 13 top students with the highest weighted GPA's at Baker High School. Check out our website to see who received this honor! Go Bees!
Commended Scholar:
Congratulations to Molly Scherfling, a standout member of the Class of 2026, who has been named a Commended Student in the prestigious National Merit Scholarship Program. This honor recognizes students who demonstrate exceptional academic promise and places Molly among the top performers nationwide.
Seeking Volunteers:
We are starting the development process for the 2026-2027 budget and we are seeking community input through budget advisory committees. The District is looking for volunteers to serve on committees to review specific areas of the budget and to provide input on the budget cost savings prior to the budget components being presented to the Board of Education for review. Learn more on our website.
